Unique gifts made by a fashion designer from Cornwall were handed out to every winner at the Brit Awards 2018 last night (February 21).

The likes of Dua Lipa, Stormzy, The Foo Fighters, Rag n Bone man, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and The Gorillaz were given the plush silk scarves and accessories designed by Katy Nicholson.

She started her eye-catching brand, Wildcard Silks, in October 2016.

And her designing talent was spotted by Universal Music which decided to present them as a special gift to each of the award winners on the night of the ceremony.

Katy, 30, from Porthtowan, who also works as a horticulturalist at Glendurgan Gardens, launched the company as she wanted an outlet for her drawings, a passion she peursued in her spare time. Initially she created a few designs for scarves from her artwork which then led to a demand for ties and bowties, so the Wildcard brand was officially launched.

A spokesman for her said: "With eclectic and quirky themes ranging from sugar skulls to roller skates,rhododendrons to tigers, this is a fun-loving collection of luxury silk scarves, neck ties and accessories with the design for each piece born from an original artwork hand drawn by Katy. Each of the Brits Award winners including Dua Lipa, Stormzy, The Foo Fighters, Rag n Bone man, Kendrick Lamar, Ed Sheeran and The Gorillaz were given one of Wildcard’s signature sugar skull designs, inspired by Katy's road trip along Route 66."

She said: "Being approached by The Brit Awards is a real honour for any brand but as a new and up and coming label, it is very exciting to be offered this opportunity and global exposure.

"I have big ambitions for Wildcard so really look forward to seeing where this unique boost for the business will take us.
